Stage and screen star and animal activist Mary Tyler Moore will be saluted by The Players Foundation with a Pipe Night next month.

A Pipe Night for Mary Tyler Moore will be held March 15 at the Players in Manhattan. The black-tie evening will feature appearances by Moore's Broadway Barks co-founder, Tony winner Bernadette Peters, as well as Tony winner Elaine Stritch and Grammy winner Tony Bennett.

Pipe Nights, according to press notes, "are named for the smoking of churchwarden pipes in the evenings. Pipe Nights began in 1905 and continue as testimonials to entertainment professionals to celebrate their contribution to the arts. The March 15th Pipe Night for Mary Tyler Moore is the perfect opportunity to get dressed up and spend some quality time with one of our favorite actresses and beloved women."

The evening will begin at 6 PM with cocktails, followed by dinner at 6:45 PM and the program honoring Moore at 8:30 PM.
